In addition to chloride, there are other negatively charged molecules in plasma. The extra sodium restores the balance of the overall negative charges.

<h3>What is plasma?</h3>

It is an aqueous solution that is thick in consistency, straw-colored, and somewhat alkaline. Fifty five percent of the blood is formed by it.

It is made up of a variety of organic and inorganic components, including 90–92% water and 6–8% solutes.

It includes fibrinogen, globulins, albumins, a trace quantity of sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bicarbonate, glucose, amino acids, lipids, and other coagulation-related substances.

Plasma's primary function is to transport proteins, hormones, and nutrients to the body's many organs. Additionally, plasma is where cells dump their waste. The plasma then aids in the body's elimination of this waste. All components of the blood are also transported through your circulatory system by blood plasma.

Predict where the structural differences would occur between an-pep and other enzymes that do not digest the peptides.
kramer

AN-PEP enzyme refers to a dietary supplement, which has been shown to dissociate gluten in the stomach. It has been proven to help the individuals suffering from Gluten sensitivity or Celiac disease. The scientific name of the enzyme is Aspergillus Niger prolyl endoprotease.  

However, certain structural differences would take place between AN-PEP, which prevent the enzyme from digesting the peptides. Some of the differences like amino acid differences would be expected in the active site, and in the regions, which influence the folded composition of the active site.
